EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a mesmerizing moment in history, showcasing the King of France, Louis XIV, alongside his beloved companion Madame de Maintenon. The image is a detailed section from Julie Philipault's remarkable painting titled "Jean Racine reading 'Athalie' before Louis XIV and Francoise d Aubigne". In this exquisite artwork, we witness the Sun King himself engrossed in literature as Jean Racine passionately reads his renowned play "Athalie". The king's expression reflects both admiration for the playwright's words and deep intellectual engagement. By his side stands Madame de Maintenon, the Marquise (Madame) de Maintenon herself - a woman who held immense influence over Louis XIV. The painting beautifully portrays an intimate scene where art and culture intersect with power and love. It symbolizes not only the king's appreciation for French literature but also highlights the importance of censorship-free artistic expression during that era. Julie Philipault skillfully brings this historical event to life through her masterful use of oil on canvas. Her attention to detail allows us to immerse ourselves in this significant moment within French history. As we gaze upon this stunning photo print, we are transported back to 1819 when Philipault created her masterpiece. We can almost feel the atmosphere of leisure and sophistication that surrounded these influential figures as they indulged in their shared passion for theater and literature.
